Hiker rescued on Skyline due to dehydration 6/7/15

It's that time of year again. After an unseasonably cool May, we are into June and back to summer heat. Hence, we've got an unprepared hiker requiring assistance. Thanks to Palm Springs SAR Unit for their service.

Yipes. He called around 18:00 hours. That has "long day" written all over it.

Thanks for posting this, Hal. I'm going to 'bump' my own post back up.
